    7.6 points. The soundtrack is good at the beginning and end, and the movie still has that cold, hard style that a movie on this theme has to offer. Exploding Bay didn't bring too many personal symbols into the movie this time, but just told a complete story. The actors' performances are good, and the actor who played Ron has played "Blood in the Pacific", but the two roles feel completely different.
